Public / office / recreation

Daylight and comfortable environments essential

Buildings with a public function such as town halls, museums, amusement arcades, theatres, libraries and office buildings must have a fire-safe and pleasant environment. After all, these are places where large numbers of people come together and which usually contain a lot of expensive equipment. It‘s a well-known fact that buildings with a recreational function are even more appealing if the environment provided is pleasant.

Safe escape routes in the event of fire

It is essential that any public present are able to make a fast and safe exit from the building in the event of a fire. An effective system for smoke and heat exhaustion, prompt fire detection, the alerting of any people present and the fire services, together with an efficient evacuation plan, are therefore vitally important. This needs to be addressed at an early stage of the design of a building or renovation.

Central areas with a good indoor climate

Almost all modern buildings have a central area in which visitors are received or meetings are held. These central areas are often covered with glass constructions, in order to allow sufficient daylight in. Adequate ventilation provisions are an essential part of this.
